What is the build-operate-transfer model?

We build and operate an offshore team for you, then transfer full ownership once it's proven and you're ready.

How is BOT different from a dedicated team?

A dedicated team stays managed by us; with BOT the goal is to transfer the team and operations into your own organization.

When does the transfer happen?

On a timeline you agree upfront, once the team is stable and delivering to your standards.

What exactly gets transferred?

The people, processes, operations, and where applicable the legal entity move under your ownership.

Who manages the team during the operate phase?

We do. We run delivery, retention, and HR until the transfer is complete.

Is BOT only for large enterprises?

It's most popular with enterprises, but any company planning a long-term offshore presence can use it.

What if I don't want to transfer?

You can extend the operate phase or convert to a dedicated team model instead.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do, from day one. Full intellectual property and source code ownership stays with you.

Which industries do you serve?

Startups, SaaS, FinTech, HealthTech, and enterprise clients.

What makes your BOT engagements different?

We focus on retention and knowledge continuity, so the team you receive at transfer is the team that built your product.

Why Enterprises Choose Build-Operate-Transfer

Enterprises choose BOT when they want a long-term offshore capability but need to de-risk the setup and keep a clear path to ownership.

Prove the offshore model before you commit to owning it.

Operational Ownership

Take over a team that already delivers and knows your product.

A Clear Exit at Every Stage

Extend, transfer, or step back at the end of each phase.

Traditional outsourcing vs build-operate-transfer

Outsourcing keeps you dependent; BOT hands you a proven capability. The trade-off:

Dimension	Traditional outsourcing	With Devzish
End state	Ongoing dependence	You own the capability
Risk	Carried by you alone	De-risked, then transferred
Ramp-up	Slow to stand up	Built and proven first
Knowledge	Stays with vendor	Transferred to your team
Ownership	Vendor-held	Fully yours after transfer
